• Renault trafic 1.9 dci - Renault Trafic 1.9 dci100 boost and smoke issue 14 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Hi all My trafic smokes on start up, for the first 10 seconds or so the revs are 500-1000 and almost stalls. the if you rev it in neutral it hesitates between 2500-3000 and white smoke fills the sky. if you try and drive it smokes at the same revs and then after 3000 it feels like the turbo kicks in. after about 5 mins driving all is fine, it drives well and smoke is gone but sometimes it goes into limp mode. so far i have cleaned egr and maf ( which is new and i have tried it with another maf in case mine was duff), leak test on injectors was fine, changed fuel filter, 2 of the 4 glow plugs need replacing and the lid of the air filter box doesnt seem to fit properly.

• Ford Mondeo - Irritating (clutch?) problem 23 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  I have had this with one other car, a Daewoo, which was exacerbated by a very slow drive-by-wire system (shared with other smaller GMs in my experience) that meant that in order to avoid the clunk, you had to wait a second or two while changing gear, which drove me spare. Thankfully I didn't have to drive that thing on a day-to-day basis but this car is my daily driver so this problem will drive me to distraction if not fixed!

  Further diagnosis shows that no fault codes are generated. Sometimes the fault will also appear temporarily when driving over a bunp/pothole but it does not always need a stimulus to make the fault occur. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how the likely fault can be identified?.
